The Ohio Farm Bureau has endorsed Farm Bureau Bank. Farm Bureau Bank has built its entire 20-plus year existence around the lifestyle and needs of farmers and ranchers across America.

“We understand what Farm Bureau folks need and help them get that personal service you may not get from your big national bank that you’re dealing with these days,” said Will Hileman, president and CEO of Farm Bureau Bank.

Started by Farm Bureau in 1999, the bank works with more than 700 county and state Farm Bureaus across the country. It offers member-only competitive rates and membership dues reimbursement.

Whether it is for a mortgage loan, equipment loan, consumer credit card or auto loan, Farm Bureau Bank offers Farm Bureau members flexibility. For example, most of the income for a farmer in production agriculture comes in when crops are harvested in the fall. Because of unique agriculture cash flow, Farm Bureau Bank has an option for auto loans with annual payments.

“So you aren’t making monthly payments when you don’t have income coming in, you can make that annual payment when you do get that income and are able to pay your bills,” Hileman said. “We really try to tailor our products to help Farm Bureau members.”

Helping to grow traditions, give back to agricultural communities and offer financial convenience, Farm Bureau Bank is committed to assisting farmers by offering the following:

  • Deposit services.
  • Consumer cards (personal and business – spend $16,000 annually
    and your Farm Bureau membership is covered).
  • Business services.
  • Equipment, vehicle and mortgage loans.
  • HSA (Health Savings Accounts). 
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Finding farm labor
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

CAUV: Past, present and future
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.

Farm Bureau involvement
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
